Time: 2099 in Review December 31, 2099
Selected Articles:
"Highlight of the year- As the turn of the century is kicking in, the world is still in turbulent times. The worst one is the Israel conflict. In March, the UAP invaded Israel, just as American troops came in to save some parts of the country from death. Jerusalem suffered heavy fighting, but most historical structures survived mortar fire. However, losses are great for both sides. Like the failed Iraq War and Vietnam War (For America), guerrilla warfare dominates. It seems the Eye of God has taken the side of Americans, as the famous battle of Golan Heights showed. Several American convoys had to go through Golan Heights, when ambushed by over 2,000 UAP troops. Suddenly, the Eye of God swept in, banners blazing, killing most of the UAP troops. Before Americans could fire on the Eye of God, they fled from the battlefield. Just as well, over 3,000 American soldiers, 4,000 Israeli soldiers, and 6,000 UAP soldiers have died, as well as countless civilians, although estimates point to about 5,500."
"The unknown terrorist organization that attacked numerous targets, such as Broadway, in 2098, has attacked again this year. However, this wasn't bombings, or hijackings. This was an attack on the economy. It seems several terrorist hackers diverted about $500 million in USD, and spent a whole lot of it on stocks. Unfortunately, they invested heavily in European and African markets. Soon, they sold most of their stocks, causing the market to crash. Most heavily hit were oil companies, including West African Oil, the monopoly of West Africa. As such, a new Depression started. This depression didn't last long in major countries, but instead in fragile economies like Sudan, Egypt, Albania, and Cuba. Imports ground to a halt, as did money. Here are the hardest hit nations:

"China opened a can of whoop-ass on the Chinese Revolutionaries. Taiwan was captured, and remnants of the Revolution fleeing to West Qia-Shia China. However, most remnants sided with the Eye of God, the newest threat to Free China. It seems the Eye of God has not done any incriminating activities this year, besides weapon smuggling in Africa. Anyways, 4,500 Chinese troops, 6 Chinese Fighters, and 3 Chinese Frigates died/were sunk. The Chinese Revolutionary Movement has dissolved, creating a feeling of happiness and confidence in Free China."
"In Egypt Vs. UAAPF, Spain has contributed great amounts of power to the defense of the country. Sudan and the UAPF were partly kicked out, but the UAP captured some of eastern Egypt. Over 1,000 Spanish, 3,000 Egyptian, 500 Sudanese, 700 UAP, 4,200 UAPF, 100 German, 300 EEC, and 30 Italian troops have died in Egypt. It seems that the UAAPF has outdated equipment for the tanks appearing on the battlefield."
"Finally, the International Atomic Weaponry Disarmament Association, or IAWDA, will begin to inspect all nations on March 15, 3000 for nuclear weaponry, and confiscate weapons or impose sanctions on nations that violate or reject these terms:
1. Each nation cannot have more than 10 nukes.
2. No more nuclear weaponry can be made in countries with more than 10 million troops, although the air force, navy, and tanks will not count, unless in extreme quantities.
3. Nuclear energy may not exceed 50% of the total energy production.
4. Trade of uranium is limited to enough for nuclear power plants to function properly.
5. No nuclear weapons' tests are to be conducted on Earth."
